Howard Reviews

SOUL December 27, 2020
I loved Soul. LOVED. IT. The mythos was fun, the music was amazing, and the story had more heart in it—more truth in it—than anything in recent memory. As an added bonus, if you like jazz, this movie has some amazing things to offer. It’s easily worth a Disney+ subscription. Easily. Yes, it has death, […]
Wonder Woman 1984 December 26, 2020
The up-front summary: I enjoyed Wonder Woman 1984 but I was disappointed. I don’t regret signing up for HBOMax¹, because #WW84 was worth the $15 (cheaper and safer than going to the theater) but I really do wish the film had been… y’know… better. The good: there were lots of fun moments in the film, […]
TENET December 19, 2020
TENET is one of those films like THE SIXTH SENSE in which any review of the film must dance around the fact that it’s very, very difficult to say much about it—especially in any sort of critical examination—without spoiling something. So let me just say this before saying anything else: I enjoyed it. I really […]
Let’s review some movies December 19, 2020
It’s been a while, I know. I haven’t been to the theater since February, and I suppose I could describe my spring, summer, and fall to you, but all three of them were mightily 2020’d, so let’s just give that a miss. Will I make it back to a movie theater anytime soon? I doubt […]
Frozen II December 27, 2019
I don’t think Frozen II is going to get sing-along screenings, but I’m okay with that. To my mind, if there’s a weakness¹ with Frozen, it’s that one of the songs was so iconic, so memorable, and so infectious it unfairly raised the bar on the rest of the franchise. Reset that bar, and Frozen […]

The latest Schlock Mercenary

Streaming the Possible Stream May 31, 2021
Every weekday at noon my time¹, from now until the sketch editions are complete, I will be live-streaming the sketching. I don’t know how long each stream will run, so be sure to click “follow” over at twitch.tv/howardtayler to get notified the moment my cameras go live. You can view previous streams via this link, […]
Memorial Day 2021 May 31, 2021
This Memorial Day I wish to acknowledge those who continue to fight on the front lines of the pandemic. Their service has saved millions of lives, often at the expense of their own. This Sunday I met a young woman who has been working as a nurse in rural parts of Utah. Our conversation was […]
